I'm a 39 year old, T-5 Para, 15 years post-injury and have been able to ejaculate through intercourse and vibratory masturbation: at will.

As this Post's Title states, I have a question about the effects that Baclofen has on spasms and the subsequent effect on the ability to ejaculate?

My spasms have became a major nuisance that I want to get rid of, yet not at the cost of loosing the ability to ejaculate.

From my understanding, the physical process of producing an ejaculate is propagated by a highly choreographed spasm between the entire genito-urinary tract.

What I'm looking for here at Apparelyzed.com are advice and real-life experiences from other para's who have tried Baclofen and can or cannot ejaculate.

Thank you in advance for any consideration given, L

howdy sir. I'm a complete t-4 who's three years out, on the maximum dose of baclofen AND tizanidine AND a nighttime diazepam for my spasms. (my legs are fighters-)

I have never had any problems with RETROGRADE ejaculation since taking these drugs, and have never experimented with vibritory stimulation, as I'm in my 20's, and my lady and I have been "just fine" with my built in birth control, but tonight, the levy broke, and the sheets had to be changed. First time that's happened since the injury. That being said, baclofen has a pretty dramatic tolerance arc, and while I'm up to 120 mg daily of the stuff, I don't get medicine head from it (anymore- it takes some getting used to), it's a nice buffer to my shakes, and apparently it's not getting in the way of ejaculation either. Too much info? Classic noob mistake

Hi.

I'm a 40-year-old T-4 para, also 15 years post-injury. I purchased a fetricare vibrator way back in 2000 or '01 (when it first became available in the U.S.), tried it several times over the course of a year and it did not work for me so I put it away. For some reason, last year, I tried it again and suddenly - BAM! So, my wife and I used it recreationally for months (roughly May-Dec of '09). Then, just as suddenly as I discovered it worked, it has now stopped working. By "working" of course, I mean that I was/was not successful in ejaculating. Even when it was successful last year, the rate was never 100%; more like 75% of the time. Well, the last 20-30 times we have tried, it has not worked. Most of the time, it seems that I am having retrograde ejaculation.

I simply do not understand how this (or "I") has/have completely & entirely stopped working. I am taking baclofen and ditropan, but I have been for years and I was when it was working. The thought has crossed my mind that the meds could cause retrograde ejac, but again, they usually did not just a few months ago.

Any thoughts on my situation are greatly appreciated as well. But, I guess my input didn't help the previous poster too much.

Thanks!

Hi lhowland,

I have been on Baclofen for about 3 weeks now. I used to be able to ejaculate using my spasms, when I was ready I would straighten my legs and my tone and spasms would help me ejaculate!

However since taking Baclofen I haven't been able to at all, not even a hint! It's quite depressing actually, there is never just pros to anything there is always big cons too. Really does my head in!!

Hi everybody. First time post, brand new member. I'm C7/T1 high function incomplete. It is now 1 year since SCI and recently I used the Magic Wand to ejaculate...once. It has been about a month since and have had no further success. I was surprised when it happened, even though I felt spastic leg activity, tightening in Pelvic floor muscles, and a sudden similar to imminent urination sensation within the urethra. This was abruptly followed by the most volumous ejaculation I've ever experienced. More surprising, was that contrary to expectation, semen quality was thick and clear/ milky not brown as most literature has suggested. I feel the need to share this victory as good testimony for a low amplitude and inexpensive device but also to see if there are any suggestions or recommendations for other devices, techniques, and just to get some responses as to how soon after injury at home ejaculation is occurring from other members. Thanks for your candour.
